members OF the Commission know there
has not been solitary plural marriage
10 Utah during the year. Their impress
sions, opinions or beliefs in the matter are
absolutely worth nothing. If they had
said there were go such marriages Or
six only their statement would have
had just as much foundation in fact as
the one they put out officially. If the
Commissioners had any evidence of
a polygamous marriage they would not
have waited until they sent their report
to Washington, but the names of the
offenders and the testimony in the
hands of the Commissioners would have
gone to the Marshal and the grand
jury. The majority thought that by
charging considerable violation of the
law In the face of the local movement
against polygamy, public suspicion
would be aroused and the impression
created that the Mormons were not
sincere in their promises and profess
sions. The matter has worked some
what as the Commissioners intended,
for as remarked above, many of the
newspapers are alleging that plural
marriages are frequently taking place,
the assertion being based on nothing
more reliable than the malicious and
utterly unreliable declaration of the
majority of the Utah Commission.
THE HERALD can neither assert
nor deny that there are polyg-
amous marriages. 1t cannot say
there has been no such marriage
within year, nor that there has not
been ten, twenty, fifty or any other
number. And yet we are in quite as
good position to obtain information
OF marriages of this character as the
members of the U tab Commission. THE
HERALD can assert, however, that If
there are any such marriages now
adsys, they are so few in number, and
are so secretly performed, and the par
ties to them are so careful not to expose
themselves, that cunning and clever
officials, and the always alert public,
have been unable to learn the facts
or even designate by faint suspicion the
brides and grooms. The HERALD can
further say that if offenaes are perpe-
trated with such secrecy that the law
officers cannot discover that there have
been otfenses, and the public cannot
discover that law has been violated
or the community offended, society
will not be in the least injured by such
offending.
The records of the courts and the ig-
norance of the public CT any polyga
nous marriages during the year, give
the lie to the daily repeated allegation
that plural marriages are being cele-
brated by the Mormons in defiance of
the law, as of old.

The Yacht Raos

NEW YORK, August 5.-The day
dawned bright. with light winds from
the southeast. The fog was thick over
the harbor, at sunrise. but sunrise soon
dispelled it and lett the horizon clear
and made beautiful day for the great
Gollet cup yacht race, $50 far as the
weather was concerned. In fact, there
has hardly been a better day for the
past three weeks. The yachtsmeh were
early sstir and preparationsdfor the
race were begun. The harbor was q,
lovely scene as the yachts which were
clustered thickly together began to
clear up. their decks and hoist sails
preparatory to leaving. Everything
was made taut and ship shape
aboard the crafts and fine
race was looked for. AT 8 o'clock The
wind had geered little to the south and
was blowing more freshly, with good
prospect of more to follow, if the wind
held out. The course to be toward is to
the Sow and Pigs, which will give an
excellent opportunity for spectators to
see the race from stands. b AT $50
numbers were assigned the yachts and
preparations for the departure became
more active. The harbor was fairly
alive with small crafts fleeing about
among the yachts, to see them start,
and going to the light ship to witness
from there. The entries as an
nounced from the flag ship
included the Volunteer, ,Sachens,
Puritan. atlantic, Priscilla and
Mayfower. The course WAS tri-
angular and the terms of thejrace ad-
mitted all schooners and sloops of the
New York and eastern yacht clubs.
Shortly before 10 o'clock the yachts
were all at the starting point working
for good position. At fifteen minutes
past 10 O'Clock the signal gun was fired
and the race began.
The length of the Course is forty
miles. There WAS no time limit. The
big ssloops got away in the following or
der: Puritan, NayfoUer, Volunteer,
Priscilla, Atlantic. The Sdchem crossed
the first of the schooners. The others
were punched so as to be indistinguish-
able. The wind soon began freshening,
and promised to be stronger in an hour

The Fishing Trouble

OTTAWA, August 5.-There is no truth
in the report that fresh proposals for the
settlement of the fisheries dispute,
emanating from the American govern

stated to-day that government would
not modify the stand already taken by

A Strong Testimonial

Editor Enquirer have been north as
far as Centreville and Bountiful by invi-
tation from Mr.. Samuel Smith, for the
purpose of visiting several orchards
introduced in that section of country
during the last four years by the
Geneva Nursery, and was most agree
ably surprised to find the various kinds
of fruit trees much finer even than Mr..
Smith had represented them to be. The
fruit that saw. such as pears, cherries,
etc., and the satisfaction heard
expressed by parties who have bought
and are still buying from the Geneva
Nursery, satisfies me that the proprie-
tors are square-dealing and reliable
business gentlemen, and that they are
a class of fruit into this
Territory that if properly cultivated,
will bring good profit to the producer.

Jake Sharp's Trial.

New YORK, June 6.-To-day was 8
busy day in court, where Jake Sharp is
being tried for bribery. One hundred
and sixty-one persons who have been
summoned as jurors in the case but
had not responded when their names
were called, had been ordered to appear
and show cause why they should not be
punished tor contempt. The court had
also set apart this morning for invest
igating the charge made by the district
at orney, that attempts to corruptly
influence jurors had been made. Juror
Hudson said an acquaintance named
Hoagland had approached him on the
subject of the trial. The court ordered
a warrant for Hoagland's apprehension.
George Ruffie testified that before he
had received his notice two young men
called upon him and said: You are
on the Sharp jury, and we wish we were
on the jury; we could make from
500, 900 to $25, OOO" They said 1 could
get the foreman. l thought this all
foolishness, and said so. They said
they wished they had the chance [ had.

George II. Sutton. who had been ex-
cused from the box on peremptory
party challenge of the defense, testified
that man named Warner called at his
Office and asked if | wanted to get off
the jury. 1 said l did. He asked if l
was for the prosecution, and said l
did not want to talk to him. He said.
then you will get off next day." The
court said he would issue a warrant for
Warmers arrest.
Juror Raymond said George W Lynch
of Christopher and Tenth Street road,
was an acquaintance. In conversation
Oh Saturday Lynch said there was a
man in my neighborhood who had gone
on the jury and he wanted to know if
would see him and ask him to be lenient
with the old man. l met Lynch again
he said had placed him in an embar-
RAISING position. by not acting on his
suggestions, and asked me what l was
going to swear to. I said l was going
to tell the truth or nothing.-he said it
was a bad case. This closed the
evidence. The court announced that
warrant would be issued against Lynch.
Hoagland and Warren will be indicted
for embracery, and Lynch for attempt,
and they will be tried by the jury. The
delinquents who failed to respond to
the call for jury duty the court said,
would be arrested. Among those who
refused to answer were Tony Pastor,
Richard K. Fox, Louis l.. Lorillard,
Daniel E. Dickinson and Hamilton
Nick Twombley. The work of getting
jury then continued.
